  • Summary

    First, this chapter locates heritage language policy and planning (HLPP) within the broader context of traditional language planning and policy (LPP). Much of the focus for HLPP falls under the conventional domain of acquisition planning, which generally relates to educational language planning. Next, the chapter presents a typology of language policy orientations and considers their implications for HLPP. The chapter then revisits the influential work of Ruíz regarding the language-as-resource policy orientation which has been especially prominent in HLPP advocacy. Next, a discussion follows of major historical ideological shifts that have affected policy for heritage language (HL) communities within the US historical context. The chapter then revisits contemporary HLPP advocacy and reviews recommendations for promoting macro K-university policies that could encompass HLPPs. Lastly, the chapter concludes that the ongoing legacies of restrictive ideologies of the past need to be confronted as we strive to foster more inclusive engagement with HL communities of the present to ensure successful policymaking.
